Plot

Two brothers (Legault, Lemay-Thivierge) discuss the positive and negative aspects of adultery as their mother lies beside them in a coma, while their brother Rémi (Doucet) attempts to discourage them. Their conversations become more explicit as time passes.

A scene in the film reveals that Rémi is bisexual and in the closet, a storyline which is explored in more depth in the sequel.
